This wonderful late 1950's sci-fi film directed by Bernard Kowalski and produced by Roger and Gene Corman.
The plot concerns an astronaut named John Corcoran (Michael Emmet) who dies after his spaceship crashes back to Earth. The rescue team finds him and the damaged ship and discover that his body is not a typical dead body.
They rush back to their small lab facilities and discover that John is still alive, or being kept alive under what Dr. Alex Wyman (Tyler McVey) calls impossible circumstances.
Soon John returns to life and Dr. Wyman is killed by a mysterious creature that seems to have a connection with John. We and the screen characters soon learn that John had been impregnated with the alien offspring in order to invade the Earth.
This is a wonderful film that I have always loved and one of the extras on this disc is the Super 8 version of the film that I used to own. Film Masters has done a terrific job with the restoration of this movie and I can tell you it will never look better than this.
I have seen the movie dozens of times, but this was like an entirely new experience. If you're a 50's sci-fi movie fan this one is really highly recommended.
The rest of the cast includes Ed Nelson, Angela Greene, John Baer, and the gorgeous Geogianna Carter.
